Removed unsourced Shakespeare reference[edit]

I'm going to go ahead and remove the Shakespeare bit from the last line, because 1. I don't understand it, and it doesn't go with the article, and 2. It's unsourced. --Chopin-Ate-Liszt! 04:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other G Minor Nocturne[edit]

The article should properly be entitled "Nocturne in G Minor, Opus 15, no. 3." Opus 37, no. 1 is also in g minor. And of course, other composers besides Chopin have written nocturnes (notably John Field and Gabriel Faure, though neither wrote one in g minor). --38.117.238.82, now known as Kostaki mou (talk) 02:41, 4 February 2009 (UTC) 03:27, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually Op.27 No.1 is in c sharp minor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.102.156.147 (talk • contribs) 00:46, 12 March 2007

Right you are! I meant Op. 37 No. 1. I've corrected my error. Kostaki mou (talk) 02:41, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

References required[edit]

FYI, the article is currently tagged as "unreferenced" because the only provided citation appears to be the score itself. There need to be published references verifying the historical text of this article, as well as some of the editorial viewpoints expressed concerning its overall importance and popularity.

Don't misunderstand, I'm sure this is a worthwhile piece. The problem is that unless the article can be properly sourced at some point, almost the entire text would have to be eventually deleted as unverifiable. That would mean the article would be redirected to an appropriate article on Chopin or a list of his music.

Anyway, if someone with a little musical history knowledge could provide proper citations and remove unverifiable statements from the article, it would go a long way toward avoiding a potential merger a few months from now. Dugwiki 15:58, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the link to the sheet music is adequate for sourcing, because the vast majority of the article is only a synopsis of the tempos and details featured in the piece. --Chopin-Ate-Liszt! 06:30, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Arguments for Speedy Delete[edit]

You know what, I've had a change of opinion. I think this should be deleted. I wrote the article to begin with (on an old account), only as part of a kind of Wiki-enthusiasm that had me writing articles on random and useless junk. It is poorly written, contains very irrelevant information, the piece itself has no major historical value, and the article itself is un-expandable.

What I have noticed is that there is an article for Nocturne in B-flat minor (Chopin) as well (similarly, an incomplete, useless stub). What I suggest is a new page that lists all of Chopin's nocturnes in a chart form, with details on tempo, famous performers, difficulty level, and miscellaneous.

Exg:

Title	Nocturne in G minor
Tempo	lento
Performers	Arthur Rubinstein
Difficulty	moderate
Miscellaneous	A favourite among students

If anyone else thinks this is a good idea, please tell me so I can begin making it. It will be an extensive project, and any help will be greatly appreciated.--Chopin-Ate-Liszt! 06:51, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
